3
Press the dough into the bottom of the cake pan evenly.
4
In a large food processor, pulse the cashews until smooth, then add in the coconut milk and pulse until smooth.
5
Add in cacao powder, lemon juice, maple syrup, vanilla, and sea salt. Blend until smooth and creamy (there shouldn’t be any clumps of cashews).
6
Pour cheesecake batter into the pan and place on an even surface in your freezer.
7
Swirl in mashed raspberries until evenly distributed.
8
Freeze for at least 3 hours, or until set.
